Hello chrisd,

Don't try to convert your mesh to a T-spline. It depends on the scan, but I like to append faces and use the world retopology snap after laying out the general resurfacing plan. After some tweaking, adding and deleting edges and faces you are able to check your surface deviation within Rhino itself. In areas of detail you can go back and change density in specific areas, add creases, etc. In the end you'll be left with a much cleaner and lighter set of surfaces.
